Shoulder Roll Veiny Arms

Hi, my arms and hands become veiny when I do the shoulder roll. I rest my shoulders and and put my hands on my lap, out pop the veins. When I lift my shoulder blades up a little, my veins go back down. I cannot comfortably hold this position for long. Have any teachers encountered this before? Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

Hi,

No, I haven't encountered this with myself or any of my students. Have you had any issues or injuries related to your shoulders? 

I suggest you try the smallest shoulder roll movement that you can, and see if it still causes this problem. If not, stay with the very small movement for a while, then gradually and gently increase the shoulder roll movement very slightly over time, listening to your body. Don't do something that is uncomfortable or hurts you.

  1. Posture and Ergonomics:

    • Ensure your seating and desk setup are ergonomic. Poor posture or uncomfortable positions can impact blood flow.
  2. Movement Breaks:

    • If you're in a stationary position for a prolonged period, take short breaks to stretch and move your arms and shoulders.
  3. Stay Hydrated:

    • Dehydration can affect blood volume, potentially impacting vein visibility. Make sure you're adequately hydrated.
  4. Warm-Up Exercises:

    • Gentle warm-up exercises for your hands and arms may help improve circulation before engaging in activities that lead to prominent veins.
  5. Seek Professional Guidance:

    • If the issue persists or causes discomfort, it's essential to consult with a paper writing service online, such as a doctor or a physical therapist, for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate advice.
